Nice article, but I think it lacks an important piece of information. The coveted Silver Press Proof cards were only available in retail MAGAZINE packs, the kind that hang from hangers at the store, and not available in standard boxed packs. That's the key to their scarcity. Buying unopened boxes of 1996 Studio won't yield you these cards.
I remember going to a shopping mall show in Urbana, IL in the summer of 1996 and asking the dealers for Mark Grace cards. One dealer pulled out the Silver Press Proof and said "Have I got a card for you! Only 100 were made..." I was pretty floored by it at the time and had to have it, despite the hefty asking price.
Thanks, Brad!
I certainly thought about adding the Magazine comment when I wrote the article. Thanks for reassuring me of the importance. I've included it.
